ATLANTA, Sept. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Following the merger in January 2011 that brought together two of the top talent assessment innovators and market leaders to create SHLPreVisor, the company today announced it has rebranded its operations in the U.S. and across the Americas as SHL– widely recognized as the global leader in talent assessment solutions. The combined company, now known as SHL around the world, delivers over 25 million assessments annually in over 150 countries and 30 languages, with a local presence in more than 50 countries. Over the past nine months, SHL has rapidly integrated the SHL and PreVisor platforms, allowing clients to benefit from access to the deep, expanded services and solution sets of the combined company.

To date, SHL has deployed over 10,000 stand-alone and integrated solutions with clients to offer an unprecedented breadth and depth of talent acquisition and talent mobility tools – from pre-hire solutions aiding in volume recruiting, college hiring and leadership selection, to post-hire solutions spanning succession planning, corporate restructuring, talent development, and team building. SHL also partners with more HR and Talent Management systems vendors than any other assessment provider – offering seamless integration and unrivalled business outcomes. These capabilities alongside a world-class consulting practice and a 24-hour global customer support center have enabled SHL to continue offering clients even more global expertise and local insight than ever before, all via a robust yet user-friendly technology platform.

SHL now boasts the most comprehensive test catalog available anywhere, with assessments spanning behavior, personality, cognitive, skill, biodata and more – offered in more languages, in more countries, and with more local expertise than any other provider. Since the merger, a significant number of legacy PreVisor clients have incorporated legacy SHL post-hire assessment capabilities, previously not available to them, into their employee development and succession planning programs. Likewise, SHL clients from around the globe and across four continents – from Europe and Africa to Australia and North America – have embraced legacy PreVisor assessments.

“Since the merger, we have seen many of our clients embrace the enhanced content set and capabilities that we are now able to offer,” said Caroline Paxman, President of SHL Americas. “As we fully rebrand as SHL and introduce new breakthrough solutions to the marketplace, we look forward to continuing to provide the people intelligence that companies have come to rely on to make more informed, and more effective talent management decisions to drive business results.”

Further reinforcing its market leadership and legacy of innovation, SHL plans to unveil a collection of new, category-defining assessment solutions to the global marketplace in the coming months, beginning with a major launch at the HR Technology Conference & Exposition in October 2011.
